Peter Bradshaw: Masochist-narcissism drives this documentary, a startling digital-collage home movie by Jonathan Caouette ... an unwatchably raw memoir of how his mother suffered abuse at the hands of parents, foster homes and hospitals

Jonathan Caouette had a wretched childhood. His father vanished. His mother was in and out of mental hospitals. Foster parents abused him. Rather than shut his eyes to this car crash of a life, the boy began to film it. Gareth McLean meets the director of America's hottest documentary.
